You're being far better about everyone's whereabouts than I would be . I always wish I'd got mine to sign a contract on their eighteenth birthday , comitting them to moving no further than a fifteen minute train ride away .

The 'secret' English rules article made me laugh , too . My father , who taught English , simply advised , if in doubt , saying it aloud . A lot less useful at the beginning in a foreign language ; but then the trick is simply to switch the brain off and treat it as music . ( And no , no one's ever asked me to play in their band . )

I guess you will soon be posting from New York, Lucille, with so many reasons to visit! As you say, thank goodness for the internet for keeping in touch. My sons are all still in the UK, but might as well be in another country... busy with their lives, so I just keep busy with mine.
